Today on the show we are joined by Rick Ferri. Anyone who follows or is interested in index investing will probably have read something of Rick’s. He’s written seven books, working on the eighth, and he’s written a ton online as well.

We are very glad to welcome the mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson, to the podcast and although we are not strictly talking about investing and our usual topics, we do think it is a great and insightful conversation that you will enjoy, no matter where you are from.

For millennials, long-term disability insurance might be the most important decision in their life. The average 25-year-old has $1.75 million in human capital to protect. Those that earn more than an average income of $43,700, have more human capital at risk. I outline the various sources of income you can receive if you become disabled and how to protect yourself by getting an appropriate amount of disability insurance coverage.

I outline how disability works and why it is important in this Your Money, Your Choices episode.
